My words are inadequate to explain how thankful I am right now as I read your book! I am adoptive mother to 4 children. Our youngest is aged 3 (domestic adoption). Our first son is almost 7 (adopted from Russia in 2008 at age 20 months). We just adopted 2 older children from Latvia in 2013 (9 and 10 with delays...Likely FAS related). The oldest are coming along well with English though they have lags in vocabulary and 1 has receptive and expressive delays which she has likely struggled with in any language throughout her life. I'm wondering if you would recommend starting with Shurley English grammar first or Latin. They love music and the Shurley English grammar I think might be good to start with before starting Latin which I was hoping to do in the fall with at least my 6 year old whose command of English and abilities are higher than the older children. He does not show signs of FAS but has problems related more to impulsivity/emotional regulation but has from a young age been able to sit long time for readings and has even attended The Nutcracker since age 2 and has high expressive/receptive language.
I'm hoping also to attend your sessions in Louisville this summer!
Thanks so much for sharing your story! It gives me such hope and confidence.
God bless you,
Heather
